Sergio Non: That was several seconds of Cyborg simply raining punche son her.
12:07
Sergio Non: I think Gina thought she could just ride it out.
12:08
Sergio Non: Right hand after right hand from Cyborg at the end, gina was just turned onto her left hip not resisting
12:08
Beau Dure: Really an incredible fight. One huge mistake for Gina giving up a dominant position
12:09
Sergio Non: I'm telling you, Cyborg has underrated technique -- she controlled Gina's positioning at the end, gave her nowhere to go.
12:09
Sergio Non: WINNER: Cristiane "Cyborg" Santos via 1st-round TKO

Cyborg's technique is far from flawless and it seems to go to shit when things get heated....a fighter with a lot of heart though.

Carano did not stand a chance in hell. How are Carano's grappling skills?
That was a very uneventful fight really. I was hoping for more excitement. I hate TKOs.

Thank yo very much for posting that! I was totally bummed I had missed it!

Carano won the fight. Any woman who steps into the octagon against a woman with a dick bigger than most men is a winner in my book. :) Cyborg is a fucking scary creature!

Cyborg is a machine, she was never going to be beat.

Anyone see the rest of the card?

I've seen the Mousasi/Babalu and Werdum/Kyle fight aswell and I was very happy with the outcome of both.

still an exciting match at such a frenetic pace with the crowd roaring. thats mma- technique has limits when against someone bigger and stronger.

I really wanted Carano to win too. It sounds like she didn't fight back as hard because she wasn't able to get any extra training in over the course of several months. Even Randy Coture said she was a bit rusty due to being out of the ring for a year and while she was training hard for this fight, she wasn't able to work any extra traiing in, i.e. grappling... yeah, cyborg is just nuts, but you gotta give her props. She went in and got a TKO in the first round, which is semi-difficult to do.

I believe Carano was a 2:1 underdog going into last nights fight and despite how much I wanted her to win, Cyborg pressed the action and controled the pace of the fight, certainly deserving of her victory.

The best way to describe the fight as I saw it was alot of nervous, frantic energy, I have watched both of these women in past and I think the gravity of a title fight affected their mind set in the early going.

And on another note, did anyone get the PPV in Canada. I was pretty annoyed, instead of getting undercard fights to fill the remainder of the three hours, I got boxing...

No, it's Santos.

Both her and her husband Evangelista use the nickname.

Hardly a suprise, one's a pitbull that looks like it ran into a wall then fell out of a tree hitting every ugly branch on the way down, the other is like a play boy bunny but better looking, who would you have backed:p

I'm glad Cyborg beat Gina, as much as she is the face of female MMA and her looks, Gina to me always seems like she doesn't care or take what she does seriously.

Thanks for posting the video.

The fight went exactly as I figured it would. I like Gina, but knowing how Cyborg fights, I knew Carano's chances were slim. Still give her props for accepting the challenge and going for it though!

Hmm, I wonder what causes those female bodybuilders to become SOO masculine.. might be the same thing that caused Cyborg to also look masculine. :yep: I wonder what the correlation is.

Cyborg is a better fighter than Carono, but should be fighting men to be honest..

At the end of the day, Gina wins the hotness competition and will be the bigger star because sex sells.. and I would gladly be her sex slave!

Gina is coasting on her good looks. This is why womens fighting will be a WWE popularity contest in the future. Good looks will get title shots.

Gina is not a bad fighter. She is just not on the level of Cyborg, Cyborg is years aheahd of others in terms of fighting ability. Lest not forget we are talking about fighting here. It's not a beauty pageant. While we would all probably love to see to nice looking women going at it ground and pound style I would rather watch two skilled MMA fighters going at it and was happy to see this fight.

these two clips shows why cyborg is so dominate. all the little punk asses are saying cyborg is on steroids. she was and is tested just like everyone else. why criticize someone for their hard work. gina got what she had coming to her for along time. cyborg eats ; sleeps the sport. while gina is worried about a glamour shot.
